WASHINGTON EXAMINER: No off-the-record lunches: “It takes more than a cheeseburger to buy our silence, Mr. President!” That makes ’em more expensive than most of the D.C. press crowd, then. Most of ’em will keep their mouths shut for free. . . .

Plus this: “But there is another uncomfortable issue to be addressed here: The press is constantly pressing for more transparency from the administration, demanding to know who he meets with and who comes and goes. So when it’s us he meets with we suddenly get all shy and private?” Keeping secrets from the press is bad. Keeping secrets with the connivance of the press is good!
